The Trump administration is
rescinding its new guidance blocking international students from
staying in the United States while taking only online classes.
The U.S. District Court Judge announced July
14, 2020 that the government and plaintiffs had reached a resolution in a
lawsuit brought by Harvard University and MIT.
The Trump Administration will rescind
its July
6 rule that said foreign students on F-1 visas would need to take at least
some in-person courses in order to legally remain in the U.S. for the fall 2020
semester.
Seventeen states and the District of
Columbia had sued the Trump Administration over the guidance. The Trump Administration received heavy
criticism from both colleges and universities as well as members of Congress
for the policy. Late last week 99
members of Congress sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security and
Immigration Customs Enforcement urging the agencies to withdraw the new
guidance.
